Oakland Police Department Pursuit Policy Review, Discussions and Update.
On September 17, 2013, I was approved to assist the Oakland Police Department review
and update its vehicular pursuit policy. On September 27, 2013, I began my correspondence
with Assistant Chief Paul Figueroa. He sent the old policy, the audit of OPD pursuits from 2011
and other relevant documents. Assistant Chief Figueroa and I discussed the pursuit issues on the
telephone and by e-mails over several months. I reviewed the old policy, made verbal and
written comments and suggestions and sent him copies of other agency's policies that I think are
excellent. We continued to discuss modifications to the policy, and corresponded routinely
concerning the potential changes in the policy, including specific language that would help
officer's understand their responsibilities and the policy modifications.
On October 21, 2013, Assistant Chief Figueroa completed his review of the policy with the Chief
and his executive team. We went over those comments and agreed on several additional
modifications. We spoke again on November 3, 2013 and discussed statutory language that
impacted their policy and how the modifications could comply with those requirements. On
November 25, I sent Assistant Chief Figueroa my comments on his most recent draft and
modifications. On November 26, we had a conference call with the chief and several members
of his executive and legal team and the Compliance Director to go over the final language
changes and modifications. We also discussed how training issues would be addressed by the
Oakland Police Department. After that telephone conference, Assistant Chief Figueroa and I had
a few short conversations which ended my discussions with the Oakland Police Department.
